Okay guys i'm planning on converting my 125 to brackish since my shark cats will need it soon.

i have 3 shark catfish and want to add a school of mono sabaes and an archer fish or 2 if possible.

would you say its roomy, tight, or not acceptable?

no idea on how big shark catfish can grow but i do know mono's can get pretty big and ideally you need a shoal of them.
i just house 4 full size archers in a volume of 94g but its heavy planted and wont add any more fish mainly due to the waste they produce.
to me it seems a odd combination of fish and would question there aggresion with each other, unless they all introduced at a young stage.
but see what others say.

shark cats grow to about 12"

the shark cats and monos are listed as being peaceful. the archer is listed as beware.

i think they'd be okay seeing as they all occupy different swimming levels as well.

i hear monos do best in shoals of atleast 5... but i hear archers like shoals too.

Monos can grow to a foot. To house a school of them, you'd need 300g+. Columbian sharks can grow to 18". Since they also like to school, why not get a few more? Very impressive tank it would be!
